This workbook looks at the history of the English language in order to explain the English that is used today. It covers the development of the English language from the 5th century to the present day and contains a "mini-corpus" of texts, used for exercises and to illustrate points raised in the commentary. The book introduces key linguistic concepts, provides "discussion points" to generate debate, and involves readers in collecting and analyzing their own data.
Language Structure and Environment is a broad introduction to how languages are shaped by their environment. It makes the argument that the social, cultural, and natural environment of speakers influences the structures and development of the languages they speak. After a general overview, the contributors explain in a number of detailed case studies how specific cultural, societal, geographical, evolutionary and meta-linguistic pressures determine the development of specific grammatical features and the global structure of a varied selection of languages. This is a work of meticulous scholarship at the forefront of a burgeoning field of linguistics.
